I’m looking to get a custom ROM that has good compatibility with my device. Would you recommend /e/? I couldn’t find a tutorial on how to install it with Linux but I don’t think it should be that hard to figure out.

    If OP was trying to secure themselves against interest from conventional state actor like a large intelligence service, I’d say they probably need to throw their phone in a woodchipper and start hitchhiking to the nearest professional spy training program.

    More realistic concerns that an ordinary person probably has are casual mass surveillance and local police fuckery. Random AOSP Roms are not sufficient to handle either of those threats.

        Our local PD literally have access to stingrays, cellbrite/Pegasus (I don’t actually know which one they pay for) and military weaponry. In the suburbs, they have armored vehicles as well (tanks and APCs, not armored swat trucks).

        Obviously it varies by where you live because different departments will have different levels of funding and will ask for different toys from the feds, but you’d be surprised how comically over equipped many PDs are.
